Development Projects

Building Strong Foundations for Thriving Communities

Our development projects focus on three essentials: building solar-powered energy stations designed to run for up to 10 years without maintenance (Starlink internet connection compatible), delivering clean water solutions that last a lifetime, and providing frontline medical awareness and gear through first aid training, health education, and essential equipment.

Critical Components of Our Development Initiatives

Infrastructure is the foundation of CEF’s work. We provide internet, electricity, and clean water systems that enable remote communities to achieve better health, economic growth, and long-term self-sufficiency.

Clean Water Solutions

CEF tailors water projects to each community—whether improving basic water security or providing portable systems for nomadic and remote groups.

Electricity

We deliver renewable, low-maintenance power systems that transform daily life—extending study hours, improving healthcare, and enabling economic opportunities for decades to come.

Medical Resilience

We use the CEF Standard First Aid Kit (35-item) as the baseline for medical provision, enabling some of the world’s most remote communities to address health challenges. In partnership with local provincial health authorities, we integrate essential medicines ontop of this framework to build resilience and strengthen healthcare access in these underserved regions’

Goal 3: Good Health and Well-being

CEF’s Birthing Initiative reduces maternal and infant mortality by giving mothers in remote regions safe, supported access to childbirth services—improving survival and community health.

Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation

CEF supports the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation. We design community-tailored water systems that ensure even the most remote villages have safe, sustainable access to clean water.

Goal 7: Affordable and Clean Energy

CEF provides solar-powered systems that are affordable, reliable, and designed for remote, off-grid communities—ensuring long-term, sustainable access to energy.

Hupen Village Project

Although not the most recent CEF development Project, have a look at our 2024 Hupen project where CEF brought clean water, solar power, and internet to one of PNG’s most isolated villages—boosting health, education, and livelihoods in the Western Province of Papua New Guinea
